Today we decided to be adventurous and ride up to Webster Pass. It’s a really rough dirt “road” that goes up to 12,103 feet and crossed the Continental Divide. The last mile or so has a sign that says full...

Jefferson Lake is a pretty popular fishing lake near where we were camped. We took a picnic and walked around the lake to a suitable swimming spot for Fletcher. He spent his time as usual, splashing around like godzilla,...

Boreas Pass & Gold Dust – Como, CO

Just down the highway from where we’re camped is Como, CO. The place was named by Italian immigrants thinking of Lake Como at home. This was a railroad town back in the late 1800’s and the start of our...

Sheep Creek – Fairplay, CO

Heidi Faller Posted onJuly 21, 2019July 21, 2019 Beer, Colorado, Mountain Biking 1 Comment 353 Views

Sheep Creek Loop took a bit of a drive but seemed worth it. This was a very remote loop that, at 14 miles, was short enough to count as an easy day after the 4000 feet of climbing the day...

Kenosha Pass

I never lose the itch to explore and ride new stuff. This week we’re camped by Kenosha Pass at 9950′ elevation in a really pretty dispersed spot in the forest. A sign is posted that warns we’re in an active...

Well we thought today would be an easy day. Wrong. We rode from St Elmo ghost town up to Pomeroy Lake at 12,035 feet. This ride starts on a nice wide gravel road for the first few miles and then turns off...

Buena Vista, Colorado

Heidi Faller Posted onJuly 7, 2019July 7, 2019 Colorado, Mountain Biking 1 Comment 428 Views

Buena Vista, pronounced Byoona like beautiful, is just North of Salida. It has grown since we were last here and has a cute touristy downtown. River rafting is the huge draw here, but there is also a good little trail...
